Gray tabby with white bib and socks, tucked under a red comforter.

This looks like when he was saying Zelensky should say thank you, to his face. And has been doctored to look like the beginning stages of Violet's transformation after chewing the experimental gum in the movie version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder.

Yeah, after the blooms fall off, that might be when the birds emerge.

Definitely give it a little more time.

I on the team of this woman when it comes to quite a few people

Women are also fed lies that men don't need emotional support. Also, women are told constantly that men don't want to be friends with them and only want sex.

So there's a good chance his friends that are women think he's not having a hard time and/or he wants to sleep with them instead of talk.

I'm sorry OP that you are going through this. The advice to join an in person hobby or interest group is probably best. (To supplement your therapy)

Also, it's also entirely possible, since it's been 5 months, that everyone is overwhelmed with life and the world. I know I've not reached out as often to my friends the last 6 months (I'm stressed by country and the grief of losing my dad a few months ago.)

Also you say it seems like everyone is supporting your ex. Are they really? Or is she holding them hostage with her drama and steamrolling into their lives?

He might ignore it and keep yelling out numbers. But doesn't this mean the people actually collecting the tariffs have to stop? And especially entities in blue states would use it as an excuse to stop collecting.

If you are safe from the prisoners and guards, get clean accommodations, are well fed, get outside/gym time for fitness, medical care, time to learn a vocation or study, occasional entertainment time (tv or whatever)... the only thing missing is a romantic partner... honestly, it sounds as good as an all inclusive retreat/vacation.

I imagine not having control over your own life for years at a time would wear one down. But months? If I knew my outside people weren't suffering because of my actions, it sounds kind of nice.

But I'm an introvert that works from home, so, I'd miss my pets.

Why not nicotine gum? Or the patches?

(Asking as someone who grew up around smokers, dippers, and chawers - and now I'm incredibly grossed out by tobacco spit)

It's not the same (obviously) but it depends.

If I buy a bag of jelly belly candy, I will eat the whole bag until I have a stomach ache, and then eat until the bag is empty. So I buy smaller amounts.

But other sugary snacks? I went cold turkey and cut out all sugar and it was all I could focus on, I craved sugar to the point of being miserable. I bought a bag of chocolates, told myself I could have one a day (like a mini snickers) - what happened will shock!

I ate one a day, and sometimes not even that. Just knowing it was there as an option took away the obsession and I ate overall a lot healthier.

So, yeah, I could do sugar in moderation with chocolate, but not with those tiny jelly beans.

Whatever your addiction is, only you know if you can really do moderation or not.

I know of other people that kept a pack of smokes or a pint of whiskey in the back of a cabinet. Knowing it's there is enough, and they just keep putting off partaking until suddenly they realize it's been a year or more and they haven't thought about it in ages.

This person weaned off instead of cold turkey for the same outcome: cessation.

Moderation would be if they still smoked 2 cigarettes a day or a couple times a week instead of 2 packs every day.

The screenshot misses the additional attribute of "rich"

Trump has literally said $5 million will buy a gold card through US immigration. (In place of a green card)

Which means everyone is at risk of being turned away, detained, deported. The odds are just higher for certain skin tones.

If the boyfriend was coming in on a private jet, and had no public facing leftish views, he'd have no problems, I'd bet.

Someone, not a therapist, told me pain isn't a competition. I don't have to wait for my pain to be worse than the pain of the people around me before I go get help for myself.

In this case, I had physical pain I put off getting checked because it wasn't worse than what why partner deals with daily. Turned out I needed antibiotics for a bad infection.
